BROODER.

Application filed July 10,

The present invention relates to a brooder for chicks and aims toprovide a device of this nature capable of using an oil lamp as a sourceof heat without any danger ot the chicks becoming asphyxiated. V

-.i\ very important object of the invention lies in the provision of animproved radiator unit for distributing the heat under a hood.

Another very important object of the. invention lies in the provision ofa draft device which will tend to suck out of the room impure gases andset up a desirable circulation.

A further very important object of the invention lies in the provisionof a burner of this nature which is exceedingly simple in itsconstruction compact and'convenient in its arrangement, strong anddurable, inexpensive .to manufacture, easy to assemble and disassemble,eflicient and reliable in use, and otherwise well adapted. to thepurpose for which it is designed. I

lVith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features ofconstruction, and in the, combination and arrangement of parts as willbe hereinafter more fully described and claimed. v I

In the drawings Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the brooderembodying the features'of my invention,

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail vertical section taken substantially on theline 22 of Fig. 1,

*ig. 8 1s a detail horizontal section taken transversely andsubstantially on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2,

Fig. 4; is an enlarged detail vertical section taken through the; lowerportion of the brooder, and p Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectionetakensubstantiallyon the line 5-5 of Fig. 4:.

.Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the numeral 5denotes a casing having a hingedly mounted top 6 associated therewith. Apipe 7 leads from the bottom of the casing OllilWELl'CllY-m'M. oilburner of any suitable or preferred construction is designated by thenumeral 8 and is disposed in the casing5. A supply pipe 9'leads from theburner-6 through the pipe 7. As is clearly shown in Fig. 4:, the burnerextends through'the top 6, and may be regulated externally of the casingby suitable 1826. semis-0. 121,530.

hinged in parallel spaced relation. The

bottom header 11 has an enlarged opening 15 in its bottom from whichextends an annular fiange lti adapted to rest on the top 6 and providedwith a prong 17 piercing a suitable aperture in the top 6. It is thuspossible. .to swing the radiator for lifting a portion of the headerfrom the top thereof in order that access may be had to the wick of theburner for iighting the same, and put-ting the same out.

A air of guides 18 are arranged on the header 11 adjacent an opening 19for receivinga transparent closure 20 which may be slid to an open orclosed position. It will also be seen that access may behad to the wickend of the burner through this opening 19 if desired for lighting orunlighting the burner. The radiator is swung as described above, moreparticularly trimming the wick and the line.

The upper header 12 is provided with a frusto-conical extension 21disposed upwardly and having an annularcollaradjacent its smaller end asis indicated at 22. The smaller end or" the frusto-conical extension 21terminates in a cylindrical portion 23 over which is adapted totelescope the lower end of the chimney pipe 24. frusto-conical shapedhood 25 has its smaller upper end receiving the chimney pipe 2s:

and the collar 22 holds the hood in spaced relation in thefrusto-conical extension 21, and this hood extends down over theradiatorv Rand the casing 5 terminating a distanceirom the floor onwhich the casing may beresting, I

The chimney 2% terminates at it upper end in'a plurality of spaced lugs26. 1- draft creating device D is associated with the upper end of thechimney pipe 24: and includes av drum 27 the upper 28 ofwhich isprovided-with a central opening 29 receiving an upper chimney pipe 30.lower end 31 of the drum 2? is provided with an opening 32 for receivingthe chimney pipe 24. A rod 33 extends trans versely across the upperportion of the drum D and supports an a inverted cup-shaped member 34,the lower open edge of which The verted cupshaped member 34-, drum 2?and chimney pipe 30 as may be followed clearly in Figs. 1, 2 and 4 ofthe drawing. This circulation of the air caused by the draft will suckin foul air through the openings 35, thereby causing a circulation inthe room or the like in which the breeder may be placed. Thus foul airand obnoxious gases may be readily taken elf.

It will also be seen that the radiator will prove very eiiicient andwill heat up the space in the hood 25 with a niinimuln ex penditure offuel in the burner. It will also be seen that the oxygen used up by theburn er is not taken fron'rthe space within the hood The device,therefore, is very efficient and reliable in use.

It is thought that the construction, utility, and advantages of thisinvention will now be apparent to those skilled in this art without amore detailed description thereof. The present embodiment of theinvention has been disclosed in detail, merely by way of example sincein actual practice it attains the features of advantage enmnerated asdesirable in the statement of the invention and the above description.

it is apparent that numerous changes in the details of construction, andin the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to withoutdeparting from the spirit, or scope of the invention as hereinafterclaimed, or sacrificing any of its ad 'antages.

.llaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new i 1. A brooderof the class described including a casing for receiving a burner, ahood, a radiator in the hood comprising an upper and a lower header, aplurality of tubes connecting the headers, said lower header adapted torest on the casing, said rasing and said lower header being providedwith coinnmnieating openings,a chimney pipe leading from andcommunicating with the upper header, a draft device associated with thesaid chimney pipe comprising a drum having its lower end provided withan opening through which the chimney pipe extends and its upper endprovided with an opening, a chimney pipe extending into the opening ofthe upper end, a rod extending transversely of the drum. an invertedcupshaped member supported by said. rod so that its lower edge is spacedfrom the bottom end of the drum, said bottom end of the drum beingprovided with an annular series of apertures, said inverted cup-shapedmember being spaced from the first chimney pipe and the drum.

2. A breeder of the class described including a casing for receiving aburner, a hood, a radiator in the hood com prising an upper and a lowerheader, a plurality of tubes connecting the headers, said lower headeradapted to rest on the 'asing, said casing and said lower-header beingprovided with communicating openings, a chimney pipe leading from andcommunicating with the upper header, a draft device associated with thesaid chimney pipe comprising a drum having its lower end provided withan opening through which the chimney pipe extends and its upper endprovided with an opening, a
